Masterson May Start Monday

The Sox are leaning toward having Justin Masterson take [Daisuke] Matsuzaka's spot in the rotation. Masterson was stretched out as a starter for most of spring training and contributed four innings in Tuesday's loss. Masterson's first turn in Matsuzaka's place will be on Patriots Day against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park Monday at 11 a.m.

The Sox also gave consideration to promoting Clay Buchholz from Pawtucket, but Buchholz is experiencing hamstring issues and may not be available.

We have a staff littered with Cy Young canidates and Wake steps up and lets that ball float like magic , sometimes not so good magic , sometimes great magic....He's an intersting baseball player to say the least.....
